DISCOVER WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

What is your personal health and wellness struggle? Weight?
Fitting exercise into your daily life? Improving your nutrition?
Quality of sleep? Lack of energy? Managing stress?
Dealing with personal health issues or risks?
Simply wanting to look and feel better?

As I search for my answers to health and wellness,
I am inspired by the beautiful water lilies (lotus) we find
in bloom at this time of the year. These fragrant flowers
spend the first part of their existence sitting in the deep mud
of ponds or lakes. They find a way to dig their roots deep into
the particular spot on earth they happen to find themselves in.
Not until they have firmly grounded and rooted themselves in
this spot do they begin to rise to the surface. Some have more
muck to work their way through, some must make their way
around other plants or objects, some may have deeper water to
navigate. Each lily must find its own way to the surface in order
to bloom.

STOP and THINK for a minute. How many self help books
have you bought or read? How many weight or exercise
programs have you tried? How about the diets you have attempted …?
Exercise equipment sitting unused? The list goes on and on for many
of us. The money and time that we have spent looking for someone
to give us THE ANSWER.

Before any of the information we have gathered from these
outside sources can be of any help to us, we need to sit in our
own patch of mud. We need to discover what really matters to us,
what is getting in our way and what will actually work in our
unique situation. Only after setting this strong foundation can we
rise, like the lotus, and bloom into our best selves.
Discover what works for you.
